Re: To old to drive?
Road traffic accidents are always a tragedy, regardless of whether the victims are children or not.......this kind of accident happens infrequently, and from the reports appears to have been a 'true accident'.
It is very easy to get into knee jerk reactions because of the emotionality of the situation.
If tests were to be applied to older drivers, then they should be free and include general health tests too......or an MOT from the persons GP stating that they are in good health.
I can see lots of drivers getting to 70 and then not taking a test, but giving up driving....isolating the older persons in question.
